In 1811, the Battle of Tippecanoe is fought. Shawnee leader Tenskwatawa (The Prophet) and his followers took on General William Henry Harrison and his 1,000 soldiers near Prophetstown. The battle was a victory for the Americans who destroyed the town. The loss was the beginning of the end for the confederacy that Tenskwatawa and his brother, Tecumseh, had sought to establish.
